A patch has been posted by Tom Rini to convert this to the
linux naming: kgdb_hex2long(...).

+static const char hexchars[] = "0123456789abcdef";
Grepping after 0123456789 in the src tree gives a lot of hits.
Maybe we should pull in some functionality from klibc, and place it in lib/
at some point in time.

+
+static char remcomInBuffer[BUFMAX];
+static char remcomOutBuffer[BUFMAX];
This does not follow usual Linux naming convention.
Something like: remcom_in_buf, remcom_out_buf?

Placing ';' on a seperate line would be good for the readability.

Too? large varriable on the stack.
